Who is he?
If his name doesn’t ring a bell with you, his work certainly will. But if Derek Smalls from This Is Spinal Tap (which he also co-wrote) isn’t good enough for you; what about the voice of Mr. Burns, Mr. Smithers, Reverend Lovejoy, Ned Flanders and Principal Skinner (to name a few) as he has been playing these characters for 30 years now! He actually started appearing on screen as a child but his parents prevented him from taking on too much work as they wanted him to have a normal childhood.
What is his science background?
This normal childhood culminated in him attending UCLA on a political science course in order to try and be a “serious person”. Whilst the efforts at being serious may not have lasted long, he did complete his degree.
